Waste of precious oxygen, Jimmy Carter, had this to say about Joe Wilson’s outburst: “There is an inherent feeling among many in this country that an African-American should not be president.” http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/sep/16/jimmy-carter-you-lie-racist Good old Jimmy goes on, about the seething hate bubbling up, especially amongst southerners.

Okay… Was Joe Wilson’s outburst uncouth? Yes. (was he factually right in that the proposed law did in fact allow illegals to get .gov health insurance, yes, but they don’t want to dwell on that). Was it ill mannered? Probably.

Was it racist?

Jimmy Carter seems to think so. Because apparently if you call somebody a liar, while they are actually lying, then it isn’t becuase they’re lying, it is because they’re black. So when you call Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, or Harry Reid a liar, that is racism too, because they’re champions of the underclass, and besides, you’d only speak up if you were a right wing hate monger anyway. If you call George Bush, Dick Cheney, or Donald Rumsfeld a liar, you are a patriotic American, doing your civic duty to question authority.

Whew. Got that cleared up!

Personally, I think they’re all a bunch of lying, thieving, hacks. And I’m sick of the bunch of them. I just happen to hate the side that has posters of Che on their walls and Marx in their heads a lot more. Crap. Now I’m racist against Hispanics and Germans. This is kind of a tough mine field to play in.

If you want to see the ugly face of unreasonable hate and bias against a group of people, just listen to how the media and elitist political hacks talk about southerners. I’m a westerner, always have been, always will be. So people ask me why my first novel was set in the south. It was because you guys don’t get any respect, and you deserve it. I wanted to actually write something where a bunch of southerners aren’t racist, hillbilly, inbred, knuckle-dragging, morons, to be gently led by the hand by somebody wise, like someone from Manhattan, or Berkley. But I digress.

CNN inferred that the big rally in Washington (you know, the one they said had 70,000 people, but the aerial photos show were bigger than Obama’s inaguration that had 1.2 million) this last weekend were inspired by ugly undercurrents of racism. (on a related note, another commentator made the crack that with this many Republicans gathered in one place, it is amazing nobody got shot or blown up! Ha Ha! Man. They sure are clever. Good thing all the totally Democrat controlled areas are so safe and crime free! Like…. Uhm…. Never mind.)

So if we hate out of control spending, the destruction of our dollar, the stupidizing of our health care, the ruining of our economy,the knee-capping of trade, the milking of the productive to support weasels, the giving to ACORN of 8 billion dollars to buy houses for El Salvadoran child sex slaves, kissing the butts of the world’s socialists dictators, the ending of the “war on terror” while Homeland Security declares returning vets potential domestic terrorists, the second highest business tax rate on Earth, dozens of unconstitutional Tsars, and MORE…

Then it must be because you are racist.

This may be kind of confusing, so bear with me. I will break this down for you. Since I am technically a “Wise Latino” I should be able to help my racist, southern, hate-mongering friends out with the following concepts.

If you support importing millions of illegal aliens to serve as a virtual slave class with no rights, so that they can be used by employers, treated like crap, and deported if they get lippy, then you are NOT RACIST.

If you think that you should allow all sorts of LEGAL immigration, so that those people can have rights and legal protection, but that we should secure our borders, then you’re a RACIST.

If you are a “community organizer” and you’ve participated in the last 40 years of the great society, and it has proven to be a failed experiment, but you keep on doing the same thing, over and over and over, and it ends up beating the crap out of inner-city America, then you are NOT RACIST.

If you support welfare programs that treat certain groups like they’re inferior and can’t make it on their own without government help then you are NOT RACIST.

If you support quotas for jobs or education that basically say “Hey, brown people, you ain’t smart enough to do it without the government.” then you are NOT RACIST. (Unless it is for Asians, because they totally don’t count. Screw those guys. I’m looking at you California University System).

If you make a big hoopla about an activist liberal judge because she’s the first Latino to be on the Supreme Court, but you think that it is okay to call Clarance Thomas an “Uncle Tom” you are NOT RACIST. (the same standard applies to any black Repulican placed into any office, anywhere, ever. Like Condi.)

If you refer to your grandma as a “typical white person” because she was “bred” that way. NOT RACIST.

If you hear that cops arrested a black man, for any reason, and you automatically assume that the cops are stupid and overreacted. NOT RACIST.

If you are a cop, and you arrest a black man. You’re a RACIST. Unless it turns out that he was a black Republican, then you need to give that Uncle Tom some “stick time.”

If you disagree with anything the Obama administration proposes, at all, ever, no matter how absurd it is. RACIST!

“What about the Harry Reid memorial magnetic levitation bullet train from Las Vegas to Disneyland? That’s pretty stupid…” RACIST! “What if I was against Van Jones because he was an avowed communist agitator and all around scumbag?” NO. You didn’t like him because you’re RACIST! “What if I point out that despite what Obama has said, there are ‘death panels’ and tax-payer funded abortions in the healthcare bill?” Do I really even need to answer that? You bigots disgust me.

Okay. I sure hope that the above helps the typical hate mongering readership of my blog to understand the intracies of race relations here in America.

It’s ok Larry. We’re all racist for questioning authority when the authority figure has a racial minority somewhere in their history.

What I’m waiting for someone to point out is the fact that Obama is (all things considered) Less than half black. His african american father ran off and left his white mother to raise him. With more white influence in his life, I’m surprised no one has brought up that half of his heritage. Oh well.

Technically speaking, Sotomayor is NOT the first Hispanic supreme court justice.

The First Hispanic Supreme Court Justice

by Norman Cohen, Los Angeles

The media are crowing about President Obama selecting the “first Hispanic Supreme Court justice”.

I have news for the media. We already have had a Hispanic U. S. Supreme Court Justice. He was Benjamin Nathan Cardozo, U. S. Supreme Court Justice from 1932 – 1938, a Sephardic Jew of Spanish ancestry. His father, Judge Albert Cardozo, was Vice President and Trustee of the famous Spanish-Portuguese synagogue in New York City , Congregation Shearith Israel .

Young Benjamin was Bar Mitzvah in that synagogue, and as an adult was proud of both his Jewish and Hispanic heritage.

They want a “genuine” Hispanic, certainly not one who was also a Jew and was considered a “great justice”.

Of COURSE we’re racist!!! That’s the only POSSIBLE reason anyone could be against the wondrous policies of the One.

Well, unless the numbers don’t work out, or nobody can afford it, or it’s chasing a non-existent problem, or you’re pointing out that the only thing stimulated by the Stimulus was the unemployment rate or. . . .

Well, I’m sure you get the idea. And remember kiddies, every single person who voted for McCain-Palin is REALLY a KKK Grand Wizard in disguise, just like Senator Byrd from . . . (whisper, whisper, whisper. . . He’s a **Democrat** AND a Klan Wizard ? And used the n-word ? Nevermind , , , ,)

The racism so involved in so much today is not against any politician is the support FOR the skintone instead of against it. I, and many many others, simply don’t care. Show me your policies. Period. :roll:

Oops. It is voting for skin, not for policy. I hope you knew what I was saying.
Larry, you need an edit button. That lost continuity on the re-read. Insert “for melanin, It” between politician (and) is.

I have a white car. . . does that mean I am a racist? Geez.. . . I’m sick of all of them, too, and I don’t care what color they are, or how big their noses are, or how bald, fat, skinny, botoxed, educated, gay, straight, bi-polar, or spray-tanned they may be. A politician is nothing more than a cleaned-up B.S’er and con man/woman. They’re all in love with themselves. . .

Being a newcomer to these discussions I hope I’m not bringing up a subject that’s already been worn out, but as far as political issues go my recommendation is to go after the head of the monster. After seeing Aaron Russo’s film “America: Freedom to Fascism” I believe we need to focus on the bigger picture.
